Visa has launched Intelligent Commerce Connect, a new solution designed to help businesses connect to and participate in AI powered commerce worldwide.
Acting as a network protocol and token vault agnostic on ramp, the platform supports agent builders, merchants and enablers, entering the growing world of agentic transactions.
As consumers increasingly rely on AI agents to discover, select and purchase goods, businesses need simple, scalable ways to participate.
Intelligent Commerce Connect delivers this through a single integration via the Visa Acceptance Platform – enabling secure payment initiation tokenisation, spend controls and authentication.
The solution integrates Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs alongside other payment network APIs, allowing agents to pay with Visa and non-Visa cards.
This flexibility gives businesses more choice while supporting ecosystem wide adoption of agentic payments.
Mandy Lamb, Head of Value Added Services Europe, Visa, said commerce is evolving rapidly and trust, security and choice are essential for success.
Key benefits include compatibility with major token vault providers, seamless acceptance of agent-initiated payments, support for leading agent protocols, improved discoverability of merchant catalogs within AI platforms and orchestration with PCI compliance for enablers.
Through one trusted integration, businesses can access a modular suite of payment tools powering online in app and marketplace experiences at global scale – helping organisations innovate faster, reduce complexity and maintain control over data security and customer experiences.
This, as AI driven commerce continues to expand across industries and markets worldwide, with strong foundations for future growth and collaboration between partners developers and merchants.
